Question

I have this ajax code for getting the current selection, so I can later call database with php GET. Firebug error:

Missing ) after argument list -“success”:function(data){

Any ideas?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#select").change(function(){
        $.ajax(
            "file.php?selected=" + $(this).val(),
            "success":function(data){
                $("#results").html(data);
            }
        )
    })
});
</script>
<select id="select">
<option> something </option>
<option> something2 </option>
<option> something3 </option>
</select>

<?php

//echo $_GET['selected'];

?>

<div id="results"></div>

You’re missing the ‘url’ property name before "file.php?selected=" + $(this).val(),:

    $.ajax({
        url:"file.php?selected=" + $(this).val(), //note the property name 'url'
        "success":function(data){
            $("#results").html(data);
        }
    })
